From a distance it all looks like its coming together perfectly. The vanity is in. The TUB is in!!! Yay!!! And everything fits!! Double yay!! I was extremely anxious about those two things fitting and have measured at least eight times. You sweat these details when each piece costs over $2,000. It’s…
Bathroom Break for Beauty!
Anxious. That’s how I’ve been feeling about the bathroom remodel we are in the midst of. I expected it which I think helps, but I needed to take a bathroom break for beauty. I don’t want to think about any more cracks or delays or anything else for a few minutes. I…
We Have a Master Bathroom Shower… Almost!
The shower is just about in! Woohoo! It feels like we are moving at a snail’s pace, but better that it be done right than done in haste. (Though a little more haste wouldn’t hurt if you ask me!) Either way, we are getting there and we have a master bathroom shower……
We Have Floors & a Crisis in the Master Bathroom!
It’s an exciting day when the carpet is ripped out of the master bathroom and is replaced by this gorgeous tumbled marble… only problem? A few of the tiles have cracks in them. Now I realize that these are delicate and I definitely wanted a worn look. I just didn’t want a…
Master Bathroom Demolition!! It Just Got REAL!
There you have it! A bathroom that is well on its way to be renovated! The master bathroom demolition has begun after a few starts and stops… mainly because we are SO indecisive! I’m just happy that the absolutely grody and revolting carpet is GONE! Quadruple ick!! This week we will be…
You Don’t Need a Honey Bunny, but You Will Probably Want One
If you had told me a year ago … or even a month ago… that I would be a proud owner of a rabbit I would have said you were crazy. If you had thought that I would sneak off to his cage and call him my Honey Bunny, I would have…
Simplicity Isn’t a Four Letter Word
Hoarders around the world shudder in fear, but it’s not just the tv show worthy that hate simplicity. I know. You can count. Clearly Simplicity has 11 letters. Ahem. 10, I mean. But you would think the cringes it induces would make it unutterable. I hear it often with clients. One suggests it, the other plays…
Holy Malawi Chair! This Just Got Real.
Rattan and wicker. They are the coconut scented sunscreen and bathing suits of chairs. Even if you are 10.6k miles from the sea or any other body of water than might get a ray of sun, these woven materials just make it feel like summer is here… and with it, possibility and endless bliss. Enough…
Anglophiles! Your English Country Stay Awaits!
Ok. I just have to ask. Am I the last person to hear about Babington House? Go ahead. Tell me the truth. You all knew and forgot to tell me? Well, just in case I am not alone in my little discovery, I have to tell you about the dreamiest English Country…
Wallpaper is BACK! Or IS it?
Clearly no one can trust my judgement. Such fickleness makes me completely unreliable. Wait. What?! Did I really just say that WALLPAPER is BACK? Have I completely lost it? My clients are asking me almost every day of the week if they should remove the wallpaper from their homes before they list…
Help!! I can’t Choose a Makeup Vanity!!
So there it is in all its glory. A gaping square hole where the vanity used to be. Rather than keeping our vanities separate, we bought a beautiful double sink for what used to be my area with the sitting vanity with the assumption that we would fill his side with a…
Our Family Is Featured in Elle Decoration Sweden!
I have to tell you. I cried. Happy tears with a tinge of bittersweetness. There it was. Elle Decoration Sweden in my mailbox on my cozy little street in Suburban America. It felt a million miles away and yet there it was in my hands with our family smiling back. I love all…
